1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
9 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
10 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
12 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
13 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
17 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
18 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
20 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
21 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
25 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
26 is applied to a class (t0m).
28 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
29 twice in the same sentance (Florian Ragwitz).
31 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
34 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
35 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
37 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
41 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
42 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
44 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
48 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
49 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
51 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
54 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
55 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
56 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
58 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
59 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
60 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
63 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
65 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
66 be much more robust. (doy)
68 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
72 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
73 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
77 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
79 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
83 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
84 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
88 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
89 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
93 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
99 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
100 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
104 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
105 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
109 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
110 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
112 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
116 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
117 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
118 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
121 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
125 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
126 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
127 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
128 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
130 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
134 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
135 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
136 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
140 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
143 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
147 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
148 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
149 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
153 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
154 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
156 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
157 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
158 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
159 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
161 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
165 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
169 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
170 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
172 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
173 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
174 - Moose::Util::does_role
175 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
176 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
177 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
179 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
183 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
184 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
185 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
188 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
192 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
193 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
196 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
200 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
201 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
204 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
208 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
210 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
211 class. (Dave Rolsky).
213 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
214 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
215 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
217 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
218 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
219 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
222 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
223 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
225 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
226 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
227 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
229 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
231 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
232 substr et al, again. (sorear)
234 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
236 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
239 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
240 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
242 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
243 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
245 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
246 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
247 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
248 dependencies installed.
250 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
251 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
254 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
256 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
260 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
263 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
264 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
267 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
268 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
270 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
271 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
274 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
275 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
276 others. (nothingmuch)
278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
279 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
280 remove_accessors. (doy)
282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
283 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
284 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
287 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
289 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
291 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
292 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
295 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
296 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
299 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
301 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
303 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
304 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
308 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
309 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
310 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
311 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
313 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
316 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
317 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
318 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
319 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
322 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
323 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
324 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
325 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
326 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
328 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
329 which were not receiving the value of
330 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
331 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
332 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
333 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
337 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
338 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
339 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
340 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
341 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
344 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
345 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
346 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
347 - added tests for this (Stevan)
350 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
351 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
352 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
355 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
357 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
360 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
361 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
364 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
365 class if you pass it options for
366 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
367 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
368 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
369 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
370 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
371 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
372 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
373 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
374 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
376 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
377 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
378 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
379 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
380 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
383 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
384 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
385 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
386 existing delegation API. (hdp)
388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
389 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
390 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
391 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
392 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
393 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
396 * Moose::Error::Croak
397 * Moose::Error::Confess
398 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
399 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
402 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
405 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
406 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
407 installing a broken sub. (doy)
410 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
413 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
414 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
415 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
417 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
418 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
419 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
420 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
421 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
423 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
424 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
427 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
429 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
430 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
433 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
434 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
438 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
439 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
442 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
443 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
444 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
445 using it for new code!
447 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
448 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
449 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
450 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
452 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
453 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
454 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
455 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
456 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
457 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
458 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
459 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
462 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
465 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
466 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
470 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
473 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
474 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
478 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
479 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
482 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
483 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
486 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
487 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
490 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
492 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
493 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
494 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
495 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
497 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
499 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
502 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
503 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
504 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
506 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
507 associated_methods. (hdp)
508 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
509 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
510 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
511 misspelled) arguments
513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
514 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
515 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
516 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
518 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
520 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
522 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
525 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
526 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
527 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
530 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
531 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
533 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
535 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
536 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
538 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
539 * Moose::Manual::Types
540 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
541 string parsing rathole (mst)
543 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
544 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
545 using plain objects instead
547 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
548 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
551 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
553 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
554 three times today (perigrin)
555 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
556 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
558 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
559 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
560 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
561 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
564 - A role's required methods are now represented by
565 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
566 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
567 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
568 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
569 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
572 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
573 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
574 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
575 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
578 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
580 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
583 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
585 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
588 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
589 during global destruction. This method has been made more
590 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
594 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
595 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
598 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
599 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
601 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
602 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
603 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
606 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
608 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
609 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
612 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
616 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
617 methods during global destruction (doy)
620 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
621 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
625 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
626 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
629 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
630 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
633 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
634 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
636 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
638 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
642 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
643 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
644 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
647 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
648 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
649 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
652 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
654 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
655 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
656 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
659 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
660 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
661 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
662 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
664 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
665 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
666 of the Moose core (Sartak)
669 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
672 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
673 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
674 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
678 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
679 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
682 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
684 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
687 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
688 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
691 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
692 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
695 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
696 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
699 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
702 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
705 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
709 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
711 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
712 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
715 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
716 * More deprecations and renamings
717 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
718 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
719 when an object is constructed)
722 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
723 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
724 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
727 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
728 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
729 feature, and it works again.
732 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
734 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
736 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
737 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
738 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
741 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
742 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
743 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
744 message. Test provided by perigrin.
746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
747 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
748 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
749 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
750 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
753 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
754 metaclass object. (hdp)
756 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
757 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
758 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
759 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
760 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
761 point out this fact. (hdp)
763 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
764 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
766 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
767 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
770 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
771 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
772 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
773 called during instance construction were passed the
774 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
775 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
777 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
778 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
781 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
782 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
783 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
786 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
787 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
788 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
789 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
790 them, but they are not for "public" use.
793 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
795 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
796 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
797 when an object is constructed)
798 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
800 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
801 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
802 when an object is constructed)
803 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
804 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
805 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
808 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
810 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
811 * No changes from 0.72_01.
813 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
815 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
816 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
817 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
820 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
821 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
823 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
825 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
826 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
828 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
829 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
832 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
833 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
836 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
837 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
838 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
840 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
841 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
845 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
846 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
847 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
850 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
853 * Moose::Manual::Delta
854 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
855 with recommended workarounds.
857 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
858 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
861 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
862 (yes, spelled like that).
864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
865 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
868 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
869 changes in latest Class::MOP.
871 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
873 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
874 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
875 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
876 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
877 instead. Reported by doy.
879 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
881 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
882 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
885 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
886 message) is now deprecated.
887 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
888 often got it wrong. For example:
890 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
892 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
896 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
897 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
898 bite you in weird cases.
900 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
901 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
902 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
905 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
906 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
910 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
913 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
914 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
917 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
918 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
921 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
924 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
926 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
927 - added tests for this (stevan)
929 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
930 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
931 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
932 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
936 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
937 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
938 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
939 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
941 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
942 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
943 - added tests for this (rafl)
945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
946 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
947 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
948 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
952 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
953 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
956 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
957 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
958 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
960 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
962 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
963 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
966 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
967 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
968 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
969 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
971 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
972 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
973 error message did not specify the attribute name
976 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
978 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
980 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
981 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
982 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
984 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
985 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
988 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
990 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
991 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
992 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
993 of fixes and formatting improvements.
995 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
997 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
998 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
999 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1000 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1003 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1004 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1006 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1007 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1008 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1009 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1010 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1013 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1014 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1015 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1016 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1019 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1020 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1021 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1022 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1023 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1025 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1026 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1027 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1028 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1029 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1030 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1033 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1035 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1036 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1037 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1038 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1041 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1044 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1048 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1049 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1052 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1053 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1054 guts. (nothingmuch).
1056 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1057 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1058 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1061 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1062 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1063 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1065 * Moose::Meta::Class
1066 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1069 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1070 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1073 * Moose::Unsweetened
1074 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1077 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1078 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1079 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1080 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1081 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1082 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1085 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1086 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1087 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1088 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1089 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1090 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1091 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1092 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1093 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1095 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1097 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1098 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1101 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1102 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1103 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1106 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1107 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1108 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1109 same methods for a single role did not work
1110 right (worked just fine with multiple
1112 - added test for this (stevan)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1115 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1116 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1119 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1120 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1121 - added test for this (t0m)
1124 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1125 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1126 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1129 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1130 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1131 - added test for this (t0m)
1133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1134 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1135 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1136 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1137 - added test for this (perigrin)
1140 - create method for constructing a role
1141 dynamically (Sartak)
1142 - added test for this (Sartak)
1143 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1144 - added test for this (Sartak)
1147 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1149 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1150 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1151 methods is useful (Sartak)
1153 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1155 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1158 * Moose::Meta::Class
1159 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1160 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1161 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1162 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1163 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1164 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1167 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1168 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1171 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1172 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1173 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1174 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1176 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1178 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1179 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1180 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1183 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1184 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1185 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1186 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1187 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1188 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1192 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1193 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1194 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1195 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1196 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1197 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1198 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1199 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1200 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1201 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1204 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1208 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1209 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1210 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1211 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1213 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1215 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1216 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1217 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1220 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1223 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1224 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1225 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1228 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1229 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1231 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1233 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1234 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Class
1237 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1238 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1239 a required attribute
1241 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1242 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1243 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1244 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1247 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1250 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1251 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1252 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1253 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1254 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1255 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1256 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1258 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1259 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1260 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1262 * Roles and role application
1263 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1264 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1265 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1266 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1267 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1269 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1270 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1273 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1274 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1275 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1276 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1277 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1280 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1281 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1282 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1283 changes in the Moose internals.
1285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1287 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1291 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1292 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1293 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1295 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1296 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1297 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1298 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1300 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1301 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1302 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1303 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1304 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1305 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1306 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1307 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1308 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1309 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1310 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1311 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1312 constraint implementations.
1314 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1318 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1319 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1320 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1321 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1322 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1323 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1324 - added tests for this (rafl)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Class
1327 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1328 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1329 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1330 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1331 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1332 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1333 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1334 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1337 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1338 - added tests for this (thepler)
1340 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1341 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1342 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1343 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1346 * Moose::Meta::Class
1347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1348 * Moose::Meta::Method
1351 * Moose::Error::Default
1352 * Moose::Error::Croak
1353 * Moose::Error::Confess
1354 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1355 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1356 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1357 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1358 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1359 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1361 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1363 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1364 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 * Moose::Unsweetened
1367 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then

1369 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1372 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1373 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1374 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1375 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1378 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1379 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1381 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1382 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1383 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1384 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1431 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1432 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1433 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1434 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1435 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1437 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1438 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

1471 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1475 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1477 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1558 ... this is not my day today ...
1560 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1561 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1562 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1563 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1564 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1567 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1568 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1569 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1574 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1576 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1577 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1609 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1610 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1611 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1612 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1613 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1614 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1615 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1616 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1617 - added tests for this
1619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1620 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1621 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1730 XS based functionality is now optional
1731 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2095 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2096 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2097 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2098 method in the first place ;)
2100 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008

2161 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2163 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2164 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2165 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2209 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2210 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2211 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2228 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2247 - added tests for this
2250 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2251 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2290 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2293 - fixed how required methods are handled
2294 when they encounter overriden or modified
2295 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2296 - added tests for this
2298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2299 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2300 the | always creates a union and so is
2301 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2302 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2304 - added more tests for this
2306 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2309 * Parameterized Types
2310 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2311 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2312 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2313 They can also be nested:
2314 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2315 And work with the type unions as well:
2316 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2318 * Better Framework Extendability
2319 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2320 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2321 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2322 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2325 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2326 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2327 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2328 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2331 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2333 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2334 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2394 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2396 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2482 the other side (perigrin)
2484 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2486 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2487 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2488 prototypes for functions
2489 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2490 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2505 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2506 - added tests for this
2508 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2510 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2536 so this release is just to fix that.
2539 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2540 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

2553 functions to facilitate introspection.
2555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2556 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2557 to build the list of delegated methods
2558 correctly (and not override important
2559 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2561 - added tests and docs for this
2562 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2563 so that you can actually document your
2564 attributes and inspect them through the
2566 - added tests and docs for this
2568 * Moose::Meta::Class
2569 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2570 it will first look in for the class in the
2571 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2572 then default to just loading $name.
2573 - added tests and docs for this
2575 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2576 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2577 - added test for this
2580 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2582 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2583 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2585 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2586 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2589 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2591 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2592 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2593 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2596 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2597 !! for this developer release to work !!
2599 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2600 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2601 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2602 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2603 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2604 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2605 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2606 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2607 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2608 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2609 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2611 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2612 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2613 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2614 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2617 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2619 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2620 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2621 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2623 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2625 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2626 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2629 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2630 called unless they actually need to be.
2631 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2632 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2633 DEMOLISH method present.
2635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2637 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2638 type constraint, which allows for a
2639 hand optimized version of the type
2640 constraint to be used when possible.
2641 - Any internally created type constraints
2642 now provide an optimized version as well.
2644 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2646 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2647 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2648 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2651 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2652 your class namespace of these exported
2655 * Moose::Meta::Class
2656 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2657 comes up during global destruction
2659 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2663 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2667 - changed how we do type checks so that
2668 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2671 - moved accessor generation methods to
2672 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2673 conform to the API changes from
2676 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2677 - changed how constraints are compiled
2678 so that we do less recursion and more
2679 iteration. This makes the type check
2681 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2685 - created this from methods formerly found in
2686 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2688 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2689 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2692 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2695 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2697 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2699 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2700 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2701 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2702 - added tests for this
2703 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2704 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2705 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2706 - removed tests for this
2708 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2710 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2711 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2712 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2715 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2716 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2717 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2719 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2720 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2721 comments for more info.
2724 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2725 asked questions and common problems
2727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2728 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2729 - added tests for this
2731 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2732 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2733 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2734 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2736 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2737 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2740 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2741 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2742 is much appreciated :)
2743 - added tests for this
2745 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2746 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2747 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2750 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2751 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2753 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2755 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2756 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2760 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2761 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2762 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2764 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2766 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2769 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2770 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2771 keywords because we need to localize them.
2772 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2774 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2775 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2776 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2779 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2783 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2784 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2787 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2788 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2789 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2791 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2793 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2794 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2795 bottom of your class file.
2798 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2801 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2803 - improved error message when loading modules so
2804 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2805 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2806 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2809 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2810 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2811 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2814 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2816 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2817 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2818 turn them on for you.
2819 - added tests for this
2820 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2821 in Moose::Meta::Class
2824 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2825 automatically turned on for you.

2847 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2848 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2849 - This release works in combination with
2850 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2851 release because it uses the a new
2852 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2853 complete Role implementation. It has
2854 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2855 the the previous CPAN version. This
2856 release also lacks good updated docs,
2857 the official release will have updated docs.
2860 - refactored the keyword exports
2861 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2862 accepts more than one Role at a time
2863 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2864 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2867 - refactored the keyword exports
2868 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2869 accepts more than one Role at a time
2871 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2872 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2873 string enumerations which can be used as
2875 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2878 - more careful checking of params to new()
2881 - much work done on the role composition
2882 - many new tests for conflict detection
2883 and composition edge cases
2884 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2885 looking at the tests
2887 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2888 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2889 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2891 * Moose::Meta::Class

2894 - some small additions to support Roles
2896 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2897 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2899 - some small changes to support the new
2901 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2902 with the 'handles' option
2903 - added several tests for this
2904 - no docs for this yet
2906 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2908 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2909 thanks to chansen for this commit
2910 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2911 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2912 on a per-attribute basis
2913 - added tests for this
2914 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2915 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2916 experimental feature and probably not finished
